Neon

Neon reimagines Postgres for the serverless era with instant provisioning, autoscaling, and branching. It's the database that behaves like modern cloud infrastructure should.

Key Features:

• Database Branching - Create isolated copies for development and testing
• Autoscaling - Compute scales to zero when idle, up when needed
• Instant Provisioning - New databases in milliseconds
• Bottomless Storage - Separation of compute and storage means no size limits

Developer experience:

• Branch per PR - Test database changes safely before merging
• Point-in-time Recovery - Restore to any moment in the past
• Connection Pooling - Handle serverless connection patterns gracefully
• Postgres Extensions - Full compatibility with the Postgres ecosystem

Neon is particularly compelling for teams using preview deployments or feature branches. The ability to branch databases like code transforms the development workflow. Combined with generous free tier and true scale-to-zero, it's become a go-to for serverless applications.
